Thanks for the example, good idea. Yes, the diagonal line is OK, that's what my asymptote example creates, as the code I posted doesn't actually make use of the array (its mere presence is enough to trigger the error). > You have to do > > (setq org-babel-min-lines-for-block-output 0) > > in order to get the example block result. #+begin_rant Is it just me, or are there other people who think that this kind of approach is wrong? In my view, per-user configuration can affect the look-and-feel of org-mode, the paths, etc., but I think having options that affect the result in any way (most babel options, in fact) should be configurable from within the Org file itself. After all, most work I do (now in Org) is supposed to be passed to other people who can then continue doing this work. I can't expect them to change "global" settings just so they can reproduce my output. I love most software I use exactly because it doesn't rely too much on global (per-user) configuration. I think Org should also reduce the set of global options to the absolute minimum. #+end_rant András
